According to Mr. Huong, these three storms and tropical depressions are all located on a tropical convergence zone whose axis passes through the North East Sea. And tropical depressions or storms that form on a tropical convergence zone often move in the direction of the tropical convergence zone axis.

"This explains why in the near future, the East Sea will continuously receive tropical cyclones, first storm No. 7, after about 24-48 hours it could be storm No. 8 and it is also possible that storm No. 9 may appear in the near future. With such continuous storms, dangerous weather conditions at sea will continue for a long time," Mr. Huong commented.

The strongest wind near the center of the storm was level 12 (118-133 km/h), gusting to level 14, the storm was moving southwest at a speed of about 5 km/h.

In the next 24 hours, the storm in the sea northwest of Hoang Sa archipelago will move southwest at about 10 km per hour and continue to weaken. The strongest wind near the storm center is level 8, gusting to level 10.

At around 1:00 p.m. on November 12, storm No. 7 on the mainland of Quang Nam-Binh Dinh, did not change direction, speed about 15 km/h, weakened into a low pressure area.

Typhoon Toraji is likely to move into the East Sea in the evening to the night of November 11, becoming the eighth typhoon in 2024 to operate in this sea area.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from early morning on November 12 to November 13, Thua Thien Hue to Binh Dinh is likely to experience moderate to heavy rain, with some areas experiencing very heavy rain with rainfall ranging from 70-150 mm, and over 250 mm in some places.
